Explanation
To minimize network latency between EC2 instances while not requiring high availability:
-
Option A (Correct): Using EC2 instances in a single Availability Zone provides the lowest network latency because all instances are within the same data center facility with direct, high-speed network connections between them.
-
Option B: Using multiple edge locations would increase latency as edge locations are geographically distributed CDN points, not designed for inter-instance communication.
-
Option C: Using the same Availability Zone but in different AWS Regions is contradictory - Availability Zones exist within a single AWS Region, not across multiple regions.
-
Option D: Edge locations are part of Amazon CloudFront (CDN) and not where EC2 instances are deployed. EC2 instances run in Availability Zones within AWS Regions.
Key Points:
- Single Availability Zone = lowest network latency
- No high availability requirement = single AZ is acceptable
- Multiple AZs or regions would increase latency due to geographical separation
- Edge locations are for content delivery, not EC2 instance deployment
